Stelara (Ustekinumab)

[ShawnP]

Hi All.

Since my treatment with Imuran failed miserably, I have been invited to partake in a clinical trial with the drug Stelara (Ustekinumab).

The other option I have is to start Humira.

Any feed back on the Stelara would be nice. Has anyone been on this for treatment and what was the outcome/side effects?



Thanks
Shawn

Good luck and keep us posted!

My daughter is on Stelara and is doing great! She was on every other drug out there previous to this one, and so far this is the best one for her. She has been on it for about 6 mos so far with no problems/side effects at all! I hope it works for you also! Best of Luck!
